Description

The T.B. Lee herbarium of Seoul National University(SNUA) houses 80,000 vascular plants specimens, most of which were collected within south Korea. Our earliest specimens were collected in the 1960’s by T.B. Lee and during the first part of the 21st century by several researchers. A recent focus of our collections is on the flora of woody plants in south Korea.
